hey guys, i just came across this over the internet...




1995 Mustang Engine Horsepower & Torque

3.8L V6 = 145 hp @ 4000 RPM & 215 lb-ft @ 2500 RPM
5.0L EFI V-8 = 215 hp @ 4200 RPM & 285 lb-ft @ 3400 RPM
5.0L EFI V-8 = 240 hp @ 5000 RPM & 285 lb-ft @ 4000 RPM
5.8L EFI V-8 = 300 hp @ 4800 RPM & 365 lb-ft @ 3750 RPM

Just wondering...which model exactly is the 240hp one?? i know the 300 is the cobra, but what about the two different 5.0L ones? ones a GT and the other is a......?? hopefully mine is the 240 one lol.

I thought the 5.0L EFI V-8 = 215 hp @ 4200 RPM & 285 lb-ft @ 3400 RPM is the GT and the 5.0L EFI V-8 = 240 hp @ 5000 RPM & 285 lb-ft @ 4000 RPM is the Cobra ?

The 5.8 one is a Cobra R. Very expensive unit.

Ya,how about that.... and now there making over 400 hp the gt's ! But you will break the piggy bank buying one too.

i'm sure it's worth every penny though! it's like a mystery to me, how can one produce only 215 hp with a 5.0L engine lol. oh well i love my mustang, and who said i only have 215 in mine?????

Look at the exhaust ports and headers. That explains alot. How thy get 400 out of the same displacement, I am not smart enough to figure out. Only way I figure is spinning it way higher, heads and valvetrain differences.

I doubt I'd ever touch the new 5.0 but it probably revs high for the power it produces and most people will likely never rev it that high.

I think I'd rather just mod my old 5.0 to get the same power, even if I have to pay more for fuel. At least I can work on it myself instead of paying someone a ton to fix it constantly.
